Theatre-Rites and AfroCuban Choreographer Miguel Altunaga are creating an exciting new production in 2025 which will initially tour outdoors between May and September 2025 before being adapted into an indoor performance for Autumn 2025. This production will be inspired by characters and traditions from Miguel's Yorubic culture, and the production will be a mix of contemporary dance, music and magical life-sized puppetry.

We welcome all submissions and would be interested in receiving applications from people with a Yorubic heritage, but this is not essential.

These are paid opportunities and rehearsals will be paid at £700 per week (including holiday pay). Theatre-Rites is an ITC Ethical Manager. Performers will work according to the ITC hour guidelines for rehearsal weeks, tech weeks and performance weeks.

Key Dates:

Tuesday 10th December: Auditions in London at Siobhan Davies Studios

4 weeks in April 2025: Rehearsals in London

The outdoor production will be available for touring between May and September 2025 Touring

Job Requirements

We are looking for highly skilled:

  • Dancers who have at least2 years or more of professional experience
  • Dancers who have recently graduated from dance school.

This new production will be devised with a cast of 3 (dancers and puppeteers) directed by Sue Buckmaster and choreographed by Miguel Altunaga.

Due to the nature of outdoor touring, these roles will be best suited to somebody with a UK base.
